Vintage 1940's pocket size wooden checkers set in original box, in very good condition. The folding checkerboard is made from two pieces of quarter inch plywood connected with charcoal gray cloth tape; every other square is painted light tan. It measures approximately 6 inches by 6 inches when open. The solid wood "men" appear to be cut from a half inch wood dowel and painted red and blue. This set comes in its original box, in charcoal gray cardboard with silver letters and graphics. The outer sleeve has "CHECKERS, POCKET SIZE, MADE IN U.S.A." on the top, and "COPYRIGHT 1943 BY WM. S. MALMAN, MANUFACTURED BY A.M. MANUFACTURING and SALES COMPANY, 1933-35 SOUTH HOOVER STREET LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA" on the bottom. The checkers and checkerboard appear to have had little usage. The box shows some wear. Please refer to the 4 photographs for appearance and condition. Shipping / packaging will be $6.00.
